Classic late 70s, early 80s Yamaha tuners. I have these on my BB1200 and SB500S. Overengineered to the nth degree. I take it the button has completely sheared off?

I think that it's a question of how long the neck is left on the BBQ / in the pizza oven - whatever the heat source is. My understanding is that the full roasting process is necessary to achieve the stability benefits and that, by that stage, you're very close to ending up with a lump of charcoal apparently. Obviouslt the neck has then to be sealed in a way that stops any moisture getting back in. Can't remember where I actually read the above but I think it was in the course of researching Wilcock basses. I now have one btw but it looks like the neck has been cooked by somebody who eats his steak raw. -
^This entirely. Not many of those out there and they sound great. -

Not quite, but yeh low tension. I also have very strong fingers and play very hard... 😜: Evah Pirazzi Slaps, with a SlapStrings Gut-A-like Swingmaster G.

Mmmm.... Now that is a work of beauty. Lovely amounts of usage. No showroom queen (in a really good way), you'd have no issues using this. Thankfully I'm completely skint but that's a great looking bass.- 1 reply

Back in the days before cheap amplification upright players use to spend some time finding the part of the stage that they felt best amplified their instrument, usually a resonant bit of flooring near a reflective corner. I've occasionally found this can make a difference to me as the player, even in my music room there's a part of the wooden floor that's more resonant and the whole instrument seems to benefit, but whether anyone else can hear any difference is debatable. As @Jean-Luc Pickguard says, if you're standing on the same platform that's going to kill most of any resonance anyway (you could always lower the endpin and not stand on the platform however, this might be the best bet but would look odd!). Key question is do you want to hear the bass better yourself, do you want the audience/other players to hear it better, or both. I think a platform might help you, but will make little or not difference to other people's hearing it in anything other than a very small and/or quite room.

I have strong suspicions that it is just a way for guitar makers to speed up the drying process of their stock and then come up with a suitable reason for the colour change that punters will believe. -
I can't put this bass down it sounds and plays so great. I got some self adhesive wheel weights and put them in the control cavity - 5 strips wasn't enough so I've ordered another 5. If £10 sorts out the only issue this might be one of the best buys ever. I don't really want to go the ultralites route as I couldn't live with screw holes from the original tuners.

Still for sale mate? -
I'm 5ft 9 so I'd have to get some Gene Simmons boots to get anywhere close!

Mine came with the top set, but I was sent the bottom set. Long gone now I'm afraid!
-
I too have the software but none of the presets, a little frustrating as I can remember being sent the 'new' ones from Alex.

I picked up a USA MM Stingray from my local music shop in 2011 when I was 18 - knocked them down to £700 including the hardcase etc. That still feels like a good deal to this day, still my main instrument. -
I'd love to play in a Type-O-Negative tribute. I'm not sure I've got the looks to pretend to be Peter Steele and at only 6'1" I'm far too short. I love playing their songs though.

Could I put 3/4 strings on a 4/4?
